Police warning over mini-motos

Two teenagers from Thatcham face having their motorbikes taken away after being handed a warning from police.

The Thatcham neighbourhood team advised the 15-year-old boys about the anti-social use of mini-motos in Pound Lane on Thursday, July 15, after they were seen causing a nuisance between 8pm and 9pm near Manor Park.

They were given Section 59 warnings and the bike was returned to one of the boys’ parents’ address.

Neighbourhood specialist officer PC Michelle Norman said: “This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated. Section 59 warnings will be issued to anyone caught riding anti-socially, that means if offenders are caught again in the next 12 months the bike will be seized.”
